I got stranded in Walsenburg, CO on my way to Denver to pickup some pumps on Thanksgiving when my water pump went out. Found this station in the town with a bunch of nice people that helped us get on our way the following day.

A couple old stations in Arkansas. I love the one in Havana, AR that is attached to the vacant Havana Bank. The stone garage in Clarksville, AR looks like it may have been a gas station.

An old station near my house. I've posted this before but today I stopped and took pics of the pumps. I didnt know they had these face plates like this. The plates were in quite good condition. Bird was not a sticker but it didn't feel like porcelain either. Could have been I guess. Or painted. Maybe someone would know. Sorry about the bad photography. I didnt' take the time to put my glasses on so I didnt notice i was taking a blurry photo.

Steve since when has a Taurus been a classic car? That is a very good and observant question Fred. But honestly, they move some very nice cars through this place. Here is their site. They actually have another building about a mile away with a showroom. But they are still getting that put together. You can see it on the site. http://www.showdownauto.com/
